  1. Confirm the designation information.

    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    2. Turn the cruise control main switch ON.

If the light control switch is turned on by mistake, readjust the beam axis (refer to page for beam axis adjustment).

    4. Clear the DTC and then recheck for DTCs.

      OK:
      DTC is not output.
